BYC Cookbook*VOTE*

[Lanissa86]

The cookbook sounds nice. I would love it if moderators made a sticky for or something for recipes. I love going to the Grandpa what for supper thread, but its almost impossible to go through so many posts trying to find what to cook!

Yeah a sticky section would be nice to organize the recipes.

Sorry, not titles yet this morning! I'm still trying to get my brain jump started!

I am in on the cookbook though! You could also have a section withe some recipes for chicken treats in the book. These cookbooks would make GREAT Christmas presents too!

Good Morning BYCer's

Hey cookbooks are always great...

You are looking at a really big under taking , work wise as far as compiling the recipes, , indexing, page layouts, proof reading, printing decisions (paper type, binding, color, or B&W) coalating, proof reading ( there is alot of checking)

and that's just to ice the cake as it were... I am not trying to be a downer on the idea ..

I think it's great Just my sister and myself just 2 yrs ago finished the family cookbook. And it took a bout a year from start to finish. And she works at a printshop for a college. She got to get supplies at cost but it still ended up costing about $20.00 per book to do. She spent many many of late nights working on it

and I did quite a few weekends helping. But the results were well worth it to us and our family.

Still a cookbook is great I have 3 book cases full of them.

What do ya think about putting the cookbook on a CD? No printing unless the reader wants to print it out...

Still proof reading and indexing and so on but no paper, binding and printing costs.

Just Food for thought....

Sorry I really am not trying to put down the idea..... I like the idea

It is a good one and I would be wanting to add recipes for it and get a few for gifts myself.. Of course 1 for myself...

I want a cookbook

With a section for MissPrissy recipes

 

[gumpsgirl]

Ooooo.... karanleaf has a great idea with the CD! Thumbs up to that idea!

 

[ams3651]

how about doing a cookbook as a .pdf or cd-rom? (oops already mentioned) I have a title, what about My pet helps me cook.

 

[kinnip]

I like the .pdf idea! I have some cluckin'-A good recipes.

 

[OHChick]

i vote yes! what a fantastic idea.

and i agree, MissPrissy should get a whole chapter to herself.

 

[denahli]

No downer here!

i know it will take a while. Lulu is a good idea someone posted. If we do a basic black and white print with a color cover and COMB binding *yuck yuck yuck* at staples they can zip copies off. CD is a good idea too!

I would like to stay away from ppl the the Morris cookbook type companies. Sheesh I don't think that there is anyone here with that kinda dough to front on a bazillion copies...lol

if I have a digital file though I can easily get reprints in a day from the copy center.

Maybe shoot for Fair season Next Year! i think that these would sell there, online and at chickenstocks.

WE NEED TITLES PPL>>LMAO

Also clever section names

Eventually we should have an online chicken show for a cover photo
